OPPORTUNITY SCHOLARSHIP FOR LOCKED-OUT DREAMERS
Opportunity Scholarship
We created our Opportunity Scholarship for undocumented students who live in states where they effectively have no access to college – either because they face paying out-of-state tuition or because their state will simply not admit them into its universities. We call these states locked-out states.
2023-2024 Scholarship Round is now closed.
Notifications will be sent in late March.
You may be eligible if you live in one of the locked-out states
About the Award
The Opportunity Scholarship Award will cover your tuition, fees, on-campus housing, and meals at one of our Partner Colleges up to a maximum of $80,000 for a bachelor’s degree.
The Award is renewable each year – you simply have to meet the continuing eligibility criteria – including continuous full-time enrollment.
More than a Scholarship!
If you receive the Opportunity Scholarship, you can use it to attend one of our Opportunity Partner Colleges listed below. These colleges are committed to serving undocumented students and are prepared to offer the support services you need to help you successfully navigate your college life. Each of our Partner Colleges designates a Scholar Advisor to work with our Scholars – individually and as a group. You will not be alone!
